Description: Sascha Rice and Julia Rocha provide a detailed introduction into journalism and its importance in sociopolitical spaces.They define journalism terms such as "press," "beat," and "muckrakers." Sascha observes how journalism functions within a democracy and in audio and visual media like TV and radio. The zine includes an illustrated diagram of the anatomy of a newspaper and multiple writing exercises followed by lined pages for readers to practice their own news writing skills. The authors share tips for distinguishing between credible news sources and "fake" or "clickbait" news, enhancing their work with hand drawn illustrations and diagrams.   — Nayla Delgado
